| Sailing Near Rockport Acrylic on Watercolor Paper 12 x 6 in/ 30.48 x 15.24 cm Copyright Byrne Smith 2016 |
I have a pad of Strathmore 140-lb. watercolor paper with the dimensions of 12 in x 6 in (30.48 cm x 15.24 cm). I use this paper size almost exclusively for my smaller landscapes. It's the perfect shape for landscapes, especially the ones I like to paint with broad vistas and long horizon lines.
Watercolor paper makes a good support for using acrylic as if it were watercolor, in my opinion. When you thin down the paint with either water or medium, it's very similar to watercolor because it flows and diffuses in a similar manner.
I like to say you get almost all the great effects of watercolor with acrylic but without all the tedious "rules," and you can make corrections!
I hope you enjoy my painting.
